Shaniwar Wada
Pune · Timeless Icon
Built in 1732 as the Peshwa residence, Shaniwar Wada once sprawled across seven storeys of teak and stone. Today’s gardens and walls frame Pune’s old city — evening light-and-sound shows narrate Maratha history.
Pair with Kasba Peth lanes, Dagdusheth Ganpati, and Pune’s museum quarter on a single heritage day.
